When I think about the end
I think you are my only friend
When I think about this life
I think this is my only life
When I think about this world
I think this is my only world
We grew up in a southern town
What was up was really down
What I found was really found
I think I met you underground
I think about when I was born
How she lost her eyes to see
They were praying hard for me
and I was born into believe
I was born not to see
Oh but I do and I believe
That she was holding on for me
Living in a foreign land
Have you lost your eyes to see
or have you found the garden tree
Well if I stayed within your tree
I don't know who I would be
Now my only friend
Do these good times ever end
When you're living in this town
That's why I tried to move away
Now I see it upside down
You don't know what you have found
until you find what you have known
I see your colors and they glow
I see your colors and I know
I just want to stand close
Now my only light
Shine a little more my way
I'm growing older every day
and I can't say what I should say
I can't mean what I should mean
What I see I do not see
What I mean to say I cannot say
but I'm going to try it anyway
Maybe I was born not to see
so eye can I not believe
and my mother lost her eyes for me
and yes you love what I will be
I know not what I will be
but I love what I can't see
And if it all just goes away
or if it all decides to stay
I believe my body ends
and I believe you are my friend
Until then until then
My only friend
I take each day as it will end
